VII.16.17-22 Pompeii.
December 2007. Looking west across paved courtyard in House of Maius Castricius..
According to
Jashemski, to the west of the peristyle garden was a paved courtyard with a
portico on the south and the east.
A large window in the
west wall looked down on the garden below, and to the Bay of Naples beyond.
This courtyard was
probably decorated with potted plants and trees.
